Hello,
This is the way your vehicle's Air Conditioning is supposed to work. Your vehicle's Air Conditioning works by taking the hot air from inside of your vehicle's cabin and moves it outside and replaces it with cold air. If your re-circulation vent is set to outside air, you would just be Air Conditioning the outside fresh air. It needs to be in re-circulation to cool the cabin air. I have included a link for you to go to below that will explain things a little better:
